STATIN is reporting that the inflation rate for December 2025 increased to 4.5%.
STATIN said this was influenced mainly by the point-to-point inflation rate for 3 divisions, to include food, electricity and accommodation services.
Increases for the food and non-alcoholic beverages division were attributed to continued increase in the prices of some agricultural produce that were impacted by hurricane Melissa.
Speaking at a press briefing today STATIN’s Director General, Leesha Delatie Budair said the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for December 2025 increased by 1.3%. .
